You can accept Jesus our reject Him, you can love Him or hate Him, but you can not ignore Him. So it is with His word. You can make false claims,from preconceived ideas, about it.

Proving the statement, When we refuse to see things as they really are, there is nothing so obscure as the obvious Lets look at 1 Samuel 17 and consider how many facts are stated, remembering, this amount in any other context, would be enough to convict our exonerate in a courtroom. 1 Now the PHILISTINES gathered their armies for battle. And they were gathered at SOCOH, which belongs to JUDAH, and encamped between SOCOH and AZEKAH, in EPHES-DAMMIN . (1Sam 17:1 ESVSB) 2 groups of people 3 geographical indicators Two groups of people, both having descendants today, ie Israel and the Gaza strip (philistines) Socoh was 15 miles west of Bethlehem, near the philistine border Azekah was 2 miles northwest of Socoh As in our time, many cities share the same name, for clarity we name the city and state, Cleveland Ohio-Cleveland Tennessee, so this particular Socoh was in the Ephes-dammim vicinity. The gathered tho fight at Socoh and they camped between Socoh and Azekak Pretty clear picture, wouldnt you say? Thats 5 verifiable facts in one verse, Lets continue.
